I'm the first generation that decided to keep bread in fridge. My parents used wooden box.
My parents (and grandparents, I think) used to put batteries in the fridge. I did too, until I learned that it’s not a good thing to do. Something about the humidity.
I do freeze bread. Mainly because the bread I can eat (gluten free) is expensive and not easy to get in the size I like (there are sizes!), so I buy multiple and freeze the excess. I also freeze my ground coffee (I really should start grinding my own; with the horror stories I’ve heard about pre ground…). I do refrigerate butter, jelly, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Batteries it depends on the chemistry.
NiCad/NiMH and some other older battery tech it can prolong shelflife, especially if you're in a hot/humid climate. Lithium batteries it doesn't really do anything.
Bananas. You shouldn't.
Refrigerating bananas pretty much stops them ripening, so if you have some fully yellow bananas you can pop then in the fridge and it will stop them from over ripening for a few days. The peel will still go brown but the flesh remains as it was when you put them in. You definitely shouldn't put green bananas in the fridge, but with yellows it buys you some time.
Not my parents, me. Brown sugar goes in the freezer so it doesn't dry out and become a piece of granite.
How long does it take you to eat the bread that mold starts to appear ??? In my house bread is pretty much gone in two days, most times less than that.
You obviously never lived by yourself. A full loaf of bread for a single person can take a while to eat unless you eat nothing but sandwiches breakfast, lunch and dinner.
